I'm a little over 5 months post op and this week I gained 2 lbs. I've never gained. I've stalled but never gained. I'm really worried. I haven't done anything differently. I watch what I eat and am very strict. I've never cheated and don't eat anything I'm not supposed to. I'm working out about 4 days a week. What gives???
-
Well, the 2 pounds are gone plus 1 more. I think I was constipated! lol

I'm going to call them today. Work has been killing me lately and I'm so sore that I'm not sleeping well at night.
-
Never

Thanks for all the comments. My personal trainer thinks it's muscle gain. I'm not so sure. I'm going to wait a few days then weigh myself again. I definitely have not gotten my water in the past 3 days. Maybe that's it?

I don't drink anything carbonated and do not plan to.

I'm 206 today. Not sure how I gained 2 lbs from last week. I've never gained. I do not eat anything I'm not supposed to and follow my plan exactly. I'm so upset!

1200 calories 6 months out
AlanaRN replied to mercy96's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get about 900 calories and 100 grams of protein a day. I'm very active also and am thinking I'm not eating enough calories. I'm over 5 months out. My dr says between 1000-1200 a day. -
How Closely Do You Stick to the Program?
AlanaRN replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm very strict and follow my plan exactly. I track everything I eat. I avoid carbs, sugar, caffeine. I weigh my food. I'm 5 months out and down 82 lbs! -

Weight Loss at a Crawl and I'm Worried
AlanaRN replied to mnmlst's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was like that too between months 3-4. Then it picked right back up. It was so frustrating. Only difference with me is that my diet was and still is perfect. I've never eaten anything I'm not supposed to. Not really sure why this happens. I'm almost 5 months out and I find some weeks take the whole week to lose a lb and then the next week I'll drop 5 lbs quickly. Makes no sense to me! -
I've had a few stalls. The worst one was around 3 months. I stalled for about 3 weeks. I just kept doing what I was supposed to and it eventually broke. It's so frustrating. Hang in there.

I had reflux and a hernia. Took omeprazole for 3 months. I'm off of it now and never have any problems.

Feel like I can eat A LOT!
AlanaRN replied to Veronica Page's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Measure everything you eat!!! Almost 5 months out and still do this!!!! I never over eat. I've never gotten sick or had problems with anything. Try it. -

209 today. 1 lb BELOW my 2nd goal of 210 since I hit my original goal of 215 previously. Yay! Thanks so much Susan!

Pain Ranking: C-Section vs. Sleeve
AlanaRN replied to Garifab_VSG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've had 3 c sections and they were easy compared to the sleeve! I was in a ton of pain after the sleeve! I have a high pain tolerance but the sleeve put me on my a$& for 2 weeks! I had a hernia repair at same time so I always wondered if that was it. -
I did not.

Parents trying to talk me out of VSG.
AlanaRN replied to Aria622's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My dad was against it as well. I'm 34 and married mother of 3 so I was doing it regardless. My dad was against due to stuff he heard in the past about the bypass. He knew nothing about the sleeve. He was a nervous wreck for the surgery. However, he has never said another word since. He sees how well I am doing and is happy for me. -
214. Only lost 1 lb this week. Aggravated! I changed my goal to 210 last week after meeting my original of 215.
